I really like the looks of that bike. I had one just like it on my short list until I found a Ninja for sale in my neck of the, uh, desert. Nice bike though! Be safe.

Well, I finally got the Kat out for her first real ride, short though it may have been. Riding position was surprisingly comfortable after getting used to it for a few miles (this is my first sport bike). It has plenty of power for my needs, and more than enough power to get out of trouble. The brakes are a HUGE step up from the Suzuki GZ250 and Kaw KZ550 I rode before, and its nice to only need two fingers for 95% of my braking needs.
All in all I'm quite happy with the bike so far. Exhaust sounds nice, but we'll see what kind of MPG I get with it. If I get decent mileage, then the bike will be pretty much perfect.Comment

Should be around 40-45mpg? I think....
The 250s will always be signifcantly higher I think... my wife gets closer to 70mpg...

Yea, I know a stock Kat 600 should get around 50 MPG, so we'll see what effect the aftermarket exhaust has.Comment

Depends on a lot of factors, including how you flog it, your altitude (higher = less fuel consumption), the humidity factory (higher = more fuel consumption to offset the denser air in movement), etc. I've seen anything from 32 to 50 mpg.Originally posted by Kreylyn View Post

Yea, I'm pretty easy on the throttle, and I tend to shift around 6000-7000 RPM. I'm certainly not an aggressive rider by any means. If I wanted a fast bike I would have gotten a supersport.
